But have you connected all the ports in series yet? :)

.... and when you run out of wall sockets, you start rushing around - where to plug...
And, you run into major troubles that can arise even due to the lack of contact in the grounding pin.

If I connected all mine together in series, including voltage sources, it'd be up around 5kV. Probably not a great idea...

When you consider that anyone can call something like this, no matter how old or whether experienced/inexperienced... :palm:
But at least the gene pool is kept in balance.

How many amps?

Did the guy not figure out that he very likely internally shorted the cap?

My single largest working PSU is 1kV 250W, a nicely limited electrophoresis PSU. Unfortunately the output is unacceptably noisy for my purposes, so I must get back to finding a way to reduce that noise.
There are lies, damned lies, statistics - and ADC/DAC specs.

Going on the principle that the lowest current output is the limiting factor, I think 8mA, which is the maximum output of my LKB 2197 at 2.5kV, iirc (I don't use it very often).
